In this deeply personal episode of Grieving Greatly Podcast, Jen talks about one of the most painful and confusing parts of grief — how to keep the memory of someone you love alive without becoming completely consumed by the pain of missing them.

Through her own experience after losing Harry, Jen explores the fear of forgetting, the heartbreak of remembering, and the complicated push and pull many grieving people experience between wanting to hold on tightly to memories while also desperately needing relief from the pain.

This episode gently explores:
• the fear of losing memories after loss
• why photos, videos, and reminders can feel both comforting and unbearable
• the guilt many people feel when grief begins to soften
• how grief and love can exist together
• learning to move in and out of grief safely
• ways to stay connected to loved ones without remaining trapped in suffering

With warmth, honesty, and therapeutic insight, this conversation offers reassurance to anyone struggling to carry love forward after loss.

Because healing does not mean forgetting.

🕊️ This episode is for anyone grieving someone deeply loved.

When you lose someone you love…
you don’t just lose them.

You can lose parts of yourself too.

In this deeply personal episode of Grieving Greatly, I share the reality of identity after loss — the quiet, often unspoken grief of losing the version of yourself that existed alongside the person you loved.

From the loss of everyday roles…
to the painful reminders in ordinary moments…
to the question so many carry— “Who am I now?”

This episode gently explores:

• The loss of identity and role after grief
• The everyday triggers that catch you off guard
• The feeling of not recognising yourself anymore
• And the slow, tender process of finding yourself again

This is a space for anyone who feels changed by loss… and unsure of who they are becoming.

You are still you.
You are still their person.
And you are not alone.

In this deeply personal episode of Grieving Greatly, Jenelle sits down with Nathan Darvill — Director of Expressive Mind Therapy, friend, colleague, and someone who has quietly carried many layers of grief throughout his life.

Together, they explore a kind of grief that often goes unseen:

The grief of surviving.

Not just grief through death, but grief through trauma, identity loss, mental health struggles, relationship breakdowns, chronic stress, physical health challenges, and the parts of ourselves we lose along the way.

Nathan shares openly about:

• Military life and identity loss
• Mental health and invisible grief
• Relationships, divorce, and isolation
• Weight loss and body image
• Chronic stress and survival
• AFL as both connection and lifeline
• Learning how to keep going when life changes you forever

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like they lost parts of themselves while trying to survive life.

Because grief isn’t always about losing someone.

Sometimes it’s about losing who you used to be.
